I have a question...

Why, in the American Church when blessings are being mentioned does it always come around to "being blessed financially".
Are we in America that preoccupied with money? Father in heaven help us to come out of there.

- Bless me spiritually Lord --- forget the trinkets.
“Listen, my beloved brothers, has not God chosen those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom, which he has promised to those who love him?” (James. 2:5).

- Is It God’s Will for All Christians to Be Wealthy?

Is it love for our Father that prompts us to ask Him for material blessings --- or is it base greed thus revealing our true character?

Christ said it was so hard for the rich to enter the kingdom of God.
And it is for the rich because they have so many material things that they lose their focus on their heavenly home.
While those who have little or nothing are better able to keep their vision clear of clutter.

And I must say this my beloved in Christ, many poverty stricken Christians in third world countries who are undergoing severe persecution have tremendously more faith than those in the western Church.

It is not a sin to have wealth, but it is a terrible insult to God to spend our lives thinking about and striving for it. Matthew 6:21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

If our heavenly Father chooses to give you much --- use it for His glory.
If He chooses to place you in a position of poverty --- use that place in life also for His glory.
